My main entry to the 2007 Halloween Funfest. Acrylics on eight canvases. The total size of the actual painting is 32x20" (to get an idea of the size, here's a picture of it in early development: http://starmen.net/forum/?t=getfile&id=36529&private=0 )

As the largest single art project I have ever done, from start to finish, well over 60 hours of work were put into this painting. If you'd like to see a larger version, drop me an e-mail.

For an experimental effect, I added a glossy layer to the sunglasses such that when the painting is hanging on the wall of my apartment, and you're looking at it from a few feet away or more, my livingroom's light is reflecting off the glasses, obscuring the Giygas pattern. When you get closer to it though, your shadow casts onto the painting, canceling the reflection and revealing the Giygas images on the lenses. Each of the lenses is about the size of a quarter. A (bad) picture of the lenses reflecting can be seen here: http://starmen.net/forum/?t=getfile&id=36511&private=0
